And the Tutoring Begins

From "Pauperess" to Princess ♛

After Jieun had beaten Key enough to her liking, she plopped back down on her bed in satisfaction.

"I feel like I accomplished something," she mused.

Jonghyun laughed. "Yes Princess, you did. You caused Key to have all these weird facial expressions. No one has ever made him do so many in such a short time."

"And all of us caught them on our phones!" Taemin exclaimed.

Onew, Jonghyun, Taemin, and even Minho showed Jieun the videos and pictures.

Jieun burst out laughing.

Who would have known that Key-ssi would have so many funny expressions hidden under his mask of coldness, she thought.

Key however, was not pleased.

"Delete them immediately!" he commanded.

But of course, no one listened. Surprisingly, not even Taemin.

The door clicked and Leeteuk walked in.

SHINee immediately straightened up and put on their best poker faces.

"Have you begun the tutoring yet?" he asked.

"We're just about to start," replied Key.

"Good. Wang wants the tutoring session to start at 6:00. You have 10 minutes."

"Is Halapoji awake already?" Jieun asked.

"No," was the reply. "But yesterday, he told me to inform you all."

"How long am I being taught?"

Leeteuk thought for a moment. "Well, Wang never exactly specified... But as long as you know the information needed..."

Jieun frowned. She knew that she would take forever to learn everything.

Onew scrolled down a schedule on his phone.

"Breakfast starts at 6:00 am. I'll be the one tutoring you during that time."

Jieun was dumbfounded.

"I need to be tutored even for breakfast?" she asked.

"Well..." Onew thought for a moment. "It's basically just manners for eating. So I'll also be tutoring you for lunch and dinner."

Jieun sighed. "Sure. Then what am I learning about after manners?"

"Secret." Jonghyun winked at her. "A princess always needs to be ready for any unexpected events."

Jieun rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Let's get started then!" exclaimed Onew.

He pulled Jieun all the way to the dining hall. The table was already set with fancy pastries, breads, and spreads in the middle. There were plates and cups already filled with breakfast goods. There were also napkins, the basic utensils, and chopsticks. 

 
"There are both chopsticks and spoons and that stuff 'cause there will be foreigners from America and Europe coming to see this important event," Onew explained. 
 
Jieun nodded in understanding. 
 
Then Onew pointed to her chair and said, "On the day of the announcement, there will be cards telling where you sit." 
 
She sat down in her spot. 
 
"Nuh-uh-uh," Onew said. "Always wait before the host sits down before you do. Wang will be the host, but since he's not exactly here right now, pretend that I am."
 
She nodded again. Then Onew sat down, followed by Jieun. 
 
Jieun was about to start eating, but then saw that Onew wasn't, so she waited.
 
Onew noticed and he complimented her. "Good. You seem to be picking up on the rules." 
 
He took the napkin and unfolded it before placing it over his lap. Then he picked up a fork and started eating the scrambled eggs. Jieun did the same.
 
When he finished chewing, Onew said, "Remember, never start eating until the host does, and never speak when you still have food in your mouth. Also, don't eat too fast or slowly"
 
Jieun could only nod, as she was still chewing.
 
"The napkin is only used for dabbing your mouth. Do not use it like a tissue and don't spit into it."
 
"Never take the last of any food. Otherwise, you'll end up looking selfish and inconsiderate."
 
"Now for posture, sit straight and don't cross your legs. Keep both feet on the ground and don't put your elbows on the table."
 
"If you absolutely have to sneeze, discreetly motion to one of the butlers and they'll bring you a clean tissue. Never use the napkin." 
 
So much to memorize! Jieun dejectedly thought. At home, appa and omma never really taught me this stuff. And at home, we never really cared about manners. 
 
"Try to eat breakfast and follow the rules that I have told you so far."
 
"There's still more?" Jieun was astounded at the amount.
 
Onew nodded. "Yes, there is still plenty more." He patted her on the back as encouragement. 
 
Jieun did her best to remember what Onew had taught her. 
 
Their breakfast finished after half an hour. They left the dinning room and found Minho waiting outside the doors. 
 
"I guess Minho's session is up next. Good luck, Jieun!" Onew cheered.
